It is actually quite difficult to maintain such a great reputation. Since you want to make a film, you must make a film that can continue its glory.
Therefore, although she chose the theme of an emotional film, her scope was very broad, and she didn't have a concrete idea of which direction she wanted to move in.
However, what is certain is that Zhang Feng does not want to shoot the kind of movie that makes people burst into tears and runny noses, the so-called tear-jerking blockbuster.
In the haze, although there was no warning, she had a premonition that pure tear-jerking movies were similar to what Kimchi next door was good at. This type of movie was not available in the current domestic entertainment movie market.
It won't be too popular, at least, it will be difficult to get a stable high box office.

The reason is that our nation still likes liveliness and excitement. Even if we watch emotional movies, we often don’t like to watch tragic movies.
Moreover, these movies are meant to be put on the big screen and earn box office revenue, so satisfying the audience and bringing them pleasure at the same time is an even more important factor.
Audiences go to movie theaters for entertainment, not for shedding tears, so movies that focus on tear-jerking always make people doubt their performance.
Therefore, Zhang Feng decided to combine the two elements of emotion and comedy to shoot a new movie.
As for the content of the story, don't worry, it's not that fast yet, it has to be compiled slowly, so just wait patiently.
Although she couldn't start filming the new movie soon, Zhang Feng was not so anxious. After all, she now had a new job.
Go write a script!
Don't think this is an easy choice. If you want to rewrite the script, then Zhang Feng will have to face a huge consumption of time and even money.
There is no doubt about this.
After all, after seeing her huge success, there are many people here who want to invest in her. In addition, there are also ready-made scripts, some of which are of good quality.
If you take it and shoot it, it can not only meet the requirements of investors, but also ensure the quality of the film. Most importantly, it can also save time and effort.
Although this can produce a movie with better quality, it will not be able to fully reflect Zhang Feng's abilities.
Now that the direction has been determined, you shouldn't worry about wasting a little time and think about a solid script yourself.
At her current age, she is now able to take responsibility for her own work. No one is forcing her to shoot a specific movie, and there is no pressure to repay the money.
Moreover, she doesn't have a fixed partner yet, so she must protect the interests of her partners. For the sake of the investors, she has to take over the scripts even if she doesn't like them.
Zhang Feng now has no such pressure at all and is very relaxed.
In this situation where there is no pressure, if you still can’t focus on the quality of your work and improve it, should you wait until later?
In the future, as the number of works increases and the industry's reputation increases, there will be more and more involvements. Then, there will be more and more off-site factors that determine the quality of a movie.
Making a movie may no longer be such a simple thing. It is not that easy to maintain your original ideals and make movies according to your heart.
So, in this golden period when no one is disturbed, it’s better to hold on tight!
Zhang Feng can be so comfortable now, and that's all thanks to Ramashanti. The movie has achieved great success and earned a lot of money.
However, if there is a problem with the division of accounts with investors, as a film director, it will not be so easy for her to escape.
Now, Ms. Ramashanti is quite satisfied with the division of accounts she received. In this way, the largest investor has been well taken care of, and the other co-investors don’t have to worry. They each have their share, and everyone has a share.
Benefits can be guaranteed.
Zhang Feng has invested in writing a new script, while her father has now put down the script and started looking for filming locations.
Three Words and Two Shots, as the name suggests, is naturally a period film.
According to Lao Zhang's vision, this will be a single-scenario costume film. In other words, he needs a suitable ancient courtyard with a relatively large venue, relatively luxurious interior decoration, and a relatively complex structure.
In fact, it is very difficult to shoot a movie with a single scene. Many people only focus on a movie with a single scene, and the investment will be relatively small. After all, there is no need to change the venue, nor a large amount of funds for setting up the scene, or even a round trip car.
Travel expenses have been saved a lot.
But in fact, these are just superficial, just for outsiders to watch, a single-scene movie, which is very difficult to shoot.
Very simply, the so-called movie is to create a dreamy feeling and immerse the audience in it.
Then, part of the plot creation also depends on the change of scenes. It needs to keep the audience fresh and interested at all times, and it cannot appear boring.
In this way, the disadvantages of single-scene movies can be seen. All stories take place in a relatively closed space, and there is almost no change of scenes, unless the story is very exciting and linked.
There is a link that keeps the audience overwhelmed, and the director's shooting techniques are also excellent. He uses various techniques to intersperse memories or things that happened in different timelines to arouse the audience's emotions. Otherwise, a movie with a single scene will easily fail.
As for Lao Zhang, he has no worries about the shooting techniques. After so many years of filming, he is quite confident in this aspect.
The trouble now is how to make the plot of the movie more transformable, so we have to make a fuss about this single scene.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! For example, this ancient courtyard. According to Lao Zhang’s vision, the antique buildings like Hengdian are not acceptable.
It's too fake, too rigid, and has no transformability at all. Moreover, as long as you zoom in closer, you can see that it is a completely fake modern architecture with no antique flavor or charm at all.
Who is Lao Zhang?
That is very particular about the quality of the film, which of course also includes the issue of scene restoration.
Therefore, from the beginning, Lao Zhang decided to collect some ancient courtyards across the country that were suitable for filming this movie and conduct on-site inspections.
Of course, it is not difficult for a great director like him to find such a place. In fact, just by sitting at home, he already has many places asking for cooperation.
Of course it is those units that want to promote local ancient architecture.
Lao Zhang is also willing to cooperate with places like this, for no other reason than convenience. Nowadays, various places have different plans for the protection and development of ancient buildings.
Some places advocate protection, so many suitable ancient buildings are no longer allowed to be used by film crews for filming.
There have indeed been many such accidents in the past. The local government originally wanted to promote tourism and also develop cultural undertakings by renting out the ancient courtyard to film crews for filming. Of course, this was also a good source of income.
However, what is supposed to be a win-win situation often turns out to be unsatisfactory.
Many film crews do not cherish and care for ancient buildings. They agreed on the filming method at the beginning, but then began to build privately and randomly when they arrived at the scene, seriously affecting the original appearance of the ancient buildings, and even littering the ground, and all kinds of chaos.
foot.
As a result, more and more places have gradually abandoned this innovative development model of cultural tourism that combines ancient buildings with film shooting.
Lao Zhang is certainly not the kind of person who would cause trouble for others. You know, over the years of making movies, his reputation has been quite good.
This is good because it is comprehensive and multi-angle, without any irony.
So, he wouldn't travel thousands of miles to many places to find a suitable compound, and then, if he likes it, the other party still doesn't agree to rent it, what should he do?
Isn’t that a lot of trouble? Do we have to go out of our way to fight with others?
No need, there is no need at all.
He only needs to choose a suitable one among the existing courtyards that are actively talking about cooperation. Anyway, the main historical background of his film is also fictional.
It's just that the model uses an ancient model. It is modeled for the specific historical era and does not need to be emphasized deliberately.
Therefore, the courtyard only needs to be antique enough to maintain its original flavor. A very important criterion is that the internal structure of this ancient courtyard must be complex and have enough rooms. In this way, although it looks like a single scene, it will not be possible until the actual shooting.
When you are there, you can also change to different rooms or scenery.
This can also enhance the rhythm of the movie, enrich the content, and create a changing effect for the audience so that they will not feel bored.
Now, Lao Zhang has several candidates in his hands, all of which he likes, but which one to cooperate with requires some on-the-spot investigation.
Why!
This is also a chore!
Several places are relatively far away from each other and are not connected to each other. On-site inspections are quite tiring for Lao Zhang, who is nearly 60 years old.
However, Lao Zhang enjoys other people's hard work.
Despite his age, Lao Zhang is still very energetic, especially when it comes to filmmaking. As long as he can handle it, he hopes to do it himself.
In fact, as long as he plunges into the movie, no matter how hard or tiring it is, he can endure it. Therefore, Lao Zhang's control over his movie is also top-notch.
Participated in almost the whole process.
Of course, Lao Zhang will not be absent from this venue selection activity. Moreover, he does need to participate in the entire event. After all, he is required to do the formal setting work, where is the most suitable location, and other matters.
Make your own decisions and no one else can interfere.
Now that Lan Masanti's investment has been negotiated, in a corner that Wu Di didn't notice, the cooperation between Lao Zhang and Ms. Lan can be said to be quite pleasant.
Lanmasanti opened a branch, and Lao Zhang was invited to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Zhang Feng didn't know about this at first.
It was Lao Zhang who came back from the ceremony and told her in person.
Ramashanti also officially announced at the ceremony that the company's next major investment project is Lao Zhang's confidential film.
In this way, it was announced that the new cooperation between the two was officially reached, the funds were in place, and there was no need for Lao Zhang to continue to delay.
While Zhang Feng was scratching his head and writing the script, he took his royal producer on a journey to inspect the ancient courtyard.
On this day, Zhang Feng received a call from an old friend after writing a lot of paper.
"Mi Li, you still knew how to call me. I thought you had forgotten me!"
Mi Li is Zhang Feng's high school classmate. The two have been at the same desk for three years in high school and are absolute besties. However, in recent times, the relationship has indeed been less close than before.
On the one hand, Zhang Feng was busy changing his skin, and on the other hand, Mi Li was dating her boyfriend. They were so sweet that they had no time to meet.
But now, Mi Li's call came, and Zhang Feng knew what was going on.
"Don't say that, didn't you call me too? The two of us are each other."
Zhang Feng smiled and said: "What?"
"Blow again?"
On the other end of the phone, all the sounds suddenly stopped. Mi Li, who had waited a long time to listen, sighed: "Yeah, if I didn't blow it, I couldn't call you."
"I guess so."
"Do you have time today?"
"Let's go out to have a meal together?"
I haven't seen my old friend for a long time. Zhang Feng really misses her a little and wants to discuss many things with her.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "That's fine."
"Then see you at the same place at eight o'clock in the evening."
The so-called old place is actually not that mysterious. It is just a Western restaurant that Zhang Feng and the others have frequented since they were teenagers.
It has been open for ten years since high school, and it is now a very famous old store.
When Zhang Feng and the others were students, it had just opened and the menu was not that rich.
But things are different now.
If you want to grab a good seat, you need to make a reservation.
When Zhang Feng arrived, he saw Mi Li already sitting there, but there seemed to be an extra man next to him.
Wearing a suit and leather shoes, he seems to look good from the back.
"Xiao Feng, you're finally here, sit down quickly, I've ordered borscht for you!"
Mi Li's focus was on Zhang Feng, but Zhang Feng was obviously not that curious about his old friend. When he saw the man in the suit getting up, he asked: "Xiaomi Li, is this gentleman... your boyfriend?"
The man has a slender figure, wears gold-rimmed glasses, has a fair face, is a bit long, and looks like a gentle scumbag.
Although he asked this question, a question mark was raised in Zhang Feng's mind. It was obvious that this man was not Mi Li's type.
Mi Li loves people with bronzed skin and clear abdominal muscles.
Referred to as a strong man.
"If so, why is this my boyfriend? I introduced him to you!"
"Introduce to me?"
Zhang Feng was frightened: "I have a boyfriend, didn't I tell you? You have lost your memory?"
Mi Li shook his head, very helpless: "You are a person who only thinks about this one-third of an acre. Who said that the one who introduces you must be your boyfriend?"
